List Price: $37.00
Price: $32.00

Difficulty: Easy/Medium (great for junior high, high school and college steel bands)

Pedagogical Points/Performance Notes-

This melody popped into my head while walking my dog and thinking about my significant other. I sang the melody into my iPhone, then came home and created the harmonic structure.

The melody fits well on a circle of 5ths Lead/Tenor pan which will help beginning players gain confidence in navigating the pan.

Pedagogical Points/Performance Notes-

This melody popped into my head while walking my dog and thinking about my significant other. I sang the melody into my iPhone, then came home and created the harmonic structure.

The melody fits well on a circle of 5ths Lead/Tenor pan which will help beginning players gain confidence in navigating the pan.

The cascading 8th notes in the Intro signify the buoyant feeling one gets when thinking about someone they care about a great deal. Letter A would be considered the verse. Letter B is a bridge section where the Dbl Tenor and 2nds have the melody. Letter C is the upbeat, happy Chorus.

Letter D returns to the “buoyancy” section with fragments of the verse melody featured in the Guitar/Cello and Bass parts.

A recap of letters A, B, & C closes out this song.

This song is a great way to teach your students about song form. The Intro, Verse, Bridge, Chorus, Transition (D), V, B, C is typical of so many songs. Task your students with finding songs that they listen to with the same or similar forms. Being aware of the composite pieces of a song is beneficial on numerous levels.

Drum Chart- This part is really just for navigational purposes. Approach this like you would a Pop tune.

Style- Happy Pop (major key). A good song to break up the Calypso, Soca, Reggae on a typical steel band concert.

I hope your band enjoys learning this song! -Mat

Difficulty: Easy/Medium (great for junior high, high school and college steel bands)

Instrumentation: tenor/double tenor (can be played on Dbl 2nds)/double seconds/guitar-cello/bass/drum set
